……

The momentum of "Forrest Gump" before the awards ceremony was so strong that most media believed that the best picture should belong to "Forrest Gump". Hastily corrected the manuscript that had already been written, and changed ""Forrest Gump" won the best picture without accident" to ""The Shawshank Redemption" upset "Forrest Gump"", which had been sent to The editor-in-chief had to work overtime to go back and rewrite the manuscript, and some reporters even finished writing the reasons why "Forrest Gump" won the award. When they saw that the best picture was awarded to "The Shawshank Redemption", they were all dumbstruck. .

It is no exaggeration to say that more than half of the entertainment reporters in Hollywood were working overtime the night the awards ceremony ended.

Reporters did have a lot to say about the final results of the '67 Oscars, and it was a surefire night.

A film that won Best Picture won no Best Director, no actor awards, and only one award for an adapted screenplay;

Originally thought to be a battle between "Forrest Gump" and "Pulp Fiction", "The Shawshank Redemption" turned out to be a successful spoiler, winning the best picture first;

Tom Hanks successfully defended the title of Best Actor and became No.1 in the history of Oscars;

The films starring Josh Walter have won Oscar films for two consecutive years, and he himself is also the youngest actor nominee...

There are too many stories about this year’s Oscars, and they can’t be told all. Every media is racking their brains to think which point they should put in the headlines. After all, no matter from which point of view, the results of this year’s Oscars are amazing.

A media outlet like the National Enquirer, which has no such concerns, directly seized on David Letterman's embarrassing banter before the opening, and wrote a big book:

"Swear to God, Oprah Winfrey and Uma Thurman's faces are green. I'm afraid there is no such unlucky host in Oscar history as David Letterman. Oprah Winfrey may be Open your mouth and eat David Letterman..."

Then, the newspaper naturally did not let Josh go:

"The tragedy of the Golden Globe Awards has not been repeated, and the best actor is finally not Josh Walter. This is undoubtedly an important reason why the Oscars have always overshadowed the Golden Globe Awards. The Foreign Press Association is a group of judges who come out of nowhere. Acting like he knows a lot about movies, but he chose an unknown actor. God bless that such a tragedy did not happen at the Oscars. Tom Hanks defended the statuette, and Josh Walter could only wipe away his tears silently (attachment [-] open)……"

Josh stared at the newspaper speechlessly: “Did I do this action?”

The manager shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe it's when you yawn... Wait, wait a minute... Isn't this your suit from last year?"

Josh looked blank: "Really?"

He didn't pay attention just now, because the printed version of the "National Enquirer" is still black and white. Last year it was a dark suit, and this year it was also a dark suit. difference.

Josh: "...has the National Enquirer always been this cheap?"

"Have you any other opinion of the morals of this paper?"

"No."

But he really never thought that the "National Enquirer" would be so frantic that it would use last year's pictures as this year's news.

As expected of the National Enquirer!

But think about it, this newspaper is one of the highest-selling newspapers in the United States. If it can't even do rumors, how can it be the top seller of supermarket tabloids all year round?

In addition to unserious newspapers such as the "National Enquirer", other media have also begun to analyze the reasons why "Shawshank's Redemption" won the best picture.

"Entertainment Weekly" summed up three reasons: first, Stephen King's novels have always been very popular in North America, and the films adapted from his works are also particularly favored by audiences and film critics; The pursuit of hope is more in line with the hearts of Americans. The iconic building in the United States is the Statue of Liberty. The United States was born from a group of people who fled the United Kingdom for freedom. The United States has its own laws every week. From this level, "The Shawshank Redemption" is more in line with everyone's inner thoughts;

The third is the description of each character in the movie. As the movie says, the strong save themselves, the sage saves everyone, and Andy saves himself and Red. He is not assimilated by the environment, but with Red Old Bu, who has a similar fate, lacks the catalyst of Andy and can only choose to die. This comparison is very clever, and there are many similar plots in the movie.

"Variety" magazine believes that "The Shawshank Redemption" is not the kind of movie that makes people shine, so when they watched it for the first time, many viewers only thought it was a story of a framed criminal with a super high IQ who escaped from prison. while ignoring the value of the film itself.

The fate of Red and Boo.

Andy's uncompromising.

The various conditions of the prison, the greed of the warden, and the inhumane treatment suffered by the prisoners.

When Andy broke through the dirty sewer and ran to the free sky, how many people didn't raise their palms and clenched their fists?

How many people didn't smile the moment the warden threw a stone through Rita Hayworth's photo?

In prison, Andy was the target of bullying, beaten, raped, and locked in a dark room, but he would fight back in the face of abuse, and he would use knowledge to protect himself in the face of rape, the most important thing is , From the moment he was imprisoned, he always wanted to save himself. It's not that he didn't want to use the law, but the law became the second choice from the very beginning. The warden's actions made him realize this more clearly.

"Is the life of Forrest Gump running so hard to move people, or is it more touching that Andy shuttled through the dirty and smelly water and gained freedom in the rain and thunder? There is no answer to this question, we can only say this Both films are excellent, Oscar chose The Shawshank Redemption."

With the end of the Oscars, "The Shawshank Redemption" has attracted more and more attention in North America. The release of the film has continued until after the Oscars, and many audiences who have not seen the film have also entered the cinema.

The producer took advantage of the trend and released the DVD version. Like the previous life, the DVD version of the movie was also a hot seller.

A week later, "Vanity Fair" magazine conducted an exclusive interview with Josh.

In the published report, "Vanity Fair" magazine summarized Josh's achievements over the past year: Oscar Supporting Actor, Golden Globe Award Winner for Drama, two best-picture movies, and a movie with a box office of nearly 2 million However, although "The Shawshank Redemption" did not have the same box office as "Speed", it also exceeded 1 million U.S. dollars, ranking among the top ten in 5000.

The youngest winner of the Golden Globe Award in film history, the second youngest Oscar winner in film history...

Coupled with Josh's past two Golden Globe nominations and one Oscar nomination, as well as the outstanding box office results of the movies he participated in, after the "Vanity Fair" magazine concluded, the Hollywood media was shocked. It turned out that Josh had achieved such Excellent result!

"Hollywood Reporter" even joked that Josh exists to break records.

After the Oscars ended, although many media complained about "Forrest Gump", as more and more audiences enjoyed "The Shawshank Redemption" and fell in love with this movie, almost no audience thought that "The Shawshank Redemption" "'s success was accidental and unpopular.

In fact, in the 67-year history of the Oscars, there are also many movies that were not well known to the audience before the awards ceremony, but after the Oscars, the audience still fell in love with those movies.

Although North American audiences sometimes feel helpless against Oscar's stubbornness, they still trust the films selected by Oscar.

Josh returned to a relaxed state, but before he rested for a month, the agent arranged a lot of scripts for him.

"You only made one film of "The Usual Suspects" last year, do you still want to complain that your agent is squeezing you?" Arnold sighed lowly, "Compared with other agents, I feel that I A great philanthropist."

"Cut——" Josh curled his lips, and was unceremoniously knocked on the forehead by the manager, "You can make a good movie this year, and I will spare you when you win the Oscar winner."

Josh glared at him: "No agent in Hollywood would make such a request for his star."

"Think I'm cruel?"

Josh nodded vigorously.

The manager smiled slightly: "Don't you want to?"

Josh blinked, then nodded slightly.

"Since you still talk so much nonsense, you little bastard!" Arnold patted Josh on the back hard, "You are already the youngest Golden Globe winner. Is it so difficult to be the youngest Oscar winner?"

"Disaster."

"You think I can't see the cocked tail behind your ass? Josh, you are very talented, but you must understand that it may not be difficult to win an Oscar, but it must be difficult to be the youngest Oscar winner. The judges will not judge you because of your age They sympathize with you because they are old, and they will not favor you because you are handsome, on the contrary, they will only treat you more harshly than others."

"Why are you young? The performance of young people is always worse than that of middle-aged and old people. Your faces are inherently untrustworthy. Tom Hanks is defending the Oscar winner because of the role he played. It is indeed impeccable. Recently, some media questioned whether Hanks won the award? No, but some people questioned your Golden Globe winner."

"If you can win the Best Actor Oscar in the past few years, there will be countless people who will doubt you."

"Being the youngest Oscar winner is both an honor and a pressure, so you have to convince everyone."

Arnold said seriously.
